Rya is 4 months old TODAY! I can't believe it. Our little girl is growing up soooo fast. She had her 4 month check up this morning. 2 nasty shots in each leg...poor thing! She was a trooper though - even got cute little Bugs Bunny band aids.
She now weighs 14 pounds...which is in the 50th percentile - right where she should be. Her head measurement was 16 - just at the 50th percentile. She's now 26.5 inches long - which puts her OFF THE CHARTS!! She's soooo long. The doctor said she's going to take after daddy...ha! The doctor was also VERY impressed that Rya's already rolling front to back/back to front and starting to commando crawl. She's ahead of the curve there too.
She's really starting to reach for and grasp objects now. Her favorites are her plastic rattle that she loves to shove in her mouth and her Baby Einstein turtle with the teethers on the end. She's been in the pool a couple times now and is starting to love the water. Still have to be careful with the sun since we can't use sunblock for another 2 months.
The other big change is that we get to start rice cereal today. This should be interesting! Then next month, it's on to vegetables. Fun stuff!
The doctor is still monitoring her sternum (chest). Right now it's not bothering her and she's growing normally. They'll continue to watch it and may decide to take xrays later on if it becomes an issue. Most of the time it becomes less noticeable as the child gets bigger.
So, that about sums up our news for the day. We've got a beautiful, healthy baby girl who's growing like a weed. Now we're just anxiously awaiting our trip to Rockford to see friends and family...CAN'T WAIT :)
